It shall be this one's duty to offer recipes and menus. These will be easy to follow, and tested to be good enough that a slave would allow his Master to serve it to Master's Guests and reflect only the best of his Master.
For far worse than Master's anger is Master's disappointment.

Creamy Dreamy Chicken on Pasta

This
easy meal cooks in the oven with little clean-up required. The
chicken is juicy and has an unexpected taste from to yellow bell
pepper.

The
baking time will vary with the size of the chicken so check it, when
155degrees is reached, pull from oven and just let it rest. It will finish
cooking and balance the juices on its own.

Ingredients:

2
lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

1
yellow bell pepper sliced lengthwise

1
can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

1
jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce

1
can (8 oz) tomato sauce

1
teaspoon dried basil leaves

½
teaspoon dried oregano leaves

½
tsp garlic powder

¼
teaspoon white pepper

1
small jar of mushrooms

½
box pasta such as rotini (the ridges hold the sauce)

Directions:

Pre
heat oven to 350 degrees

Spray
a 9 x 13 baking dish

Cut
the top and bottom off the yellow pepper, cut down the side, then
flatten and cut into strips.

In
a large, combine the alfredo and tomato sauces and the drained
chopped tomatoes.

Stir
in the drained mushrooms. Mix in the seasonings (garlic, basil,
oregano and pepper).

Arrange
the chicken breasts and pepper slices into the baking dish and pour
mixture over.

Sprinkle
with asiago cheese and cover tightly with foil.

Cook
for about 1½ hours, or until the chicken reads 155
on
instant read thermometer (you poke this right through the foil into
the chicken)

Remove
from oven and let rest while you boil the pasta. Remove foil and
place the breasts on a platter. Use a slotted spoon to dish out the
sauce. This will be served over the pasta as the guest wishes.

Slave
chose to serve a simple side of green beans. Besides sitting and
snapping the beans allows me to center and focus on the people I'm
cooking for.

What
a wonderful table full of surprising tastes. The touch of yellow
peppers makes this a special meal.
